My Project

My students love fun and engaging books. In 3rd grade they are right in the middle phase of reading as they transition from picture books to chapter books. In order to engage my students and help them to develop a love for reading, it is important to fill the classroom library with books that they find interesting and cool!

The books in this project are titles that students requested and love to read.

These books will help to fill my empty shelves with books that are more age and level appropriate. Help me develop live long readers.
